Chapter 413: Glorious Image

Last season, the Wizards were able to score 30+ points in a single quarter at every turn, and even had the feat of 40 points in a single quarter, but after leaving Nick Young and others this season, the team's offense did decline a lot, and even head coach Sanders was a little uncomfortable for a while.

So after the second quarter came up, Sanders took the five-out lineup, but this time the five-out lineup put Thompson on the small forward position, and the quarterback was replaced by his teammate Pele, who was traded.

The Nets' starting lineup was not very good, and when it came to the stage of competition and rotation, a group of players who had never even heard of it played.

With this kind of team lineup, not to mention Avery Johnson, it is useless for Cardinal Auerbach to win the repechage to coach, and the Wizards' five-out lineup in the transition stage only took five minutes to bring the Nets' starters back.

This scared Coach Johnson a lot, remembering the fear of being dominated by the Wizards' furious offensive firepower last season.

The Wizards also rotated, replacing Pele with Leonard, so the Wizards' lineup became Hinrich, Thompson, Leonard, Lewis and Lee Kaiming.

Lewis is a hole in defense, but he's more valuable on the offensive end, so it's useful to keep him.

The Nets served, Deron Williams was ready to single out Hinrich after he went to the frontcourt, but after he changed direction and passed the latter, a facial paralysis suddenly popped out next to him, Delon broke through the rhythm was disrupted, and reluctantly passed to Damion James in desperation, who seized the rare vacant opportunity to shoot directly, but he underestimated Leonard's arm span, although the ball was not blocked, but the shooting crosshairs were still affected, and the rebound was protected by Li Kaiming.

After the ball was passed to Hinrich, the other four ran forward quickly, Lewis and Thompson ran to the bottom corner, and Li Kaiming and Leonard were at two forty-five degrees.

In order to push the pace of the game faster, Hinrich made a long pass directly to Lewis in the bottom corner, who was defended by Humphreys in place and had no room to shoot, so he passed the ball back to Li Kaiming, who received the ball and faced the Nets' stupid big center to break through directly, and after one step, the Nets' assistant defense also arrived.

Li Kaiming saw the opportunity, and a diagonal pass to Thompson, who was farthest away from him, at this time, Turner, who was defending Thompson, had quietly touched Li Kaiming's position and completely let Thompson go.

Thompson received the ball and adjusted on the spot, then calmly shot in the face of Turner's fang-and-claw defense and hit the second three-pointer of the game!

With this three-pointer, the Wizards extended the margin to double digits.

Evan Turner let out a sharp breath through his nostrils!

It's unbearable, uncle can't bear it, and uncle can't bear it, and aunt can't bear it!

Be sure to let this rookie know that I'm not to be messed with!

The Nets served to the frontcourt, and Deron Williams had no chance after blocking and dismantling, so he passed the ball to Evan Turner on the outside, intending to let the latter shoot directly, but Turner was carried away by Thompson's three-point shooting, and actually dribbled directly and rushed inside.

Turner's eyes flashed with a look of madness, he wanted to let this hateful rookie know what an unsolvable offense was!

However, Turner seems to have forgotten one thing, if he shoots directly from the outside, there is a high probability that there will be no one to help Thompson make up for the defense, but if he chooses to go to the basket, then Li Kaiming, who plays center at this moment, will let him taste the palm of a move that falls from the sky.

Moreover, Thompson did not lose his position when defending Turner's breakthrough, which allowed Li Kaiming to successfully capture Turner's movements, and directly destroyed the latter's basketball dream with a volleyball cap!

The Nets sent the ball again, but unfortunately there was not much time left, Deron Williams missed a strong shot from mid-range, and Leonard grabbed the rebound and handed it to Hinrich.

And Hinrich didn't waste time after receiving the ball, he looked up and threw the ball directly to the front court, at this time Li Kaiming had already rushed to the three-point line with long legs, and he could directly attack the basket after receiving the ball.

The Nets also knew that Li Kaiming's fast break was difficult to defend alone, so they directly dispatched three people to form a wall at the free throw line, which seemed to be trying to burn with Li Kaiming!

But Li Kaiming is not stupid, no matter how powerful he is, he can't go to the basket with three people alone, and sweep it with his afterglow, Thompson has run to the bottom corner and is ready to catch the ball, so Li Kaiming transferred the ball to the latter in a large range, Thompson threw the ball when he received the ball, and scored three points in the empty space!

49 to 36! The Wizards' lead came to 13 points, and Nets coach Avery Johnson on the sidelines wanted to call a timeout to interrupt the Wizards' rhythm, but when he thought that the last timeout had only passed for less than two minutes, wouldn't it be a waste to call a timeout now? What if there is no timeout at the critical moment?

So Johnson chose to endure a little longer, and walked around the bench in a hurry, shouting loudly to guide the players on the field to pay attention to defense.

The Nets attacked, Deron Williams showed the composure of the playoffs, and did not rush to play tactics after arriving in the frontcourt, but waited on the outside for a few seconds, the purpose was to cool down the hot state of the Wizards, and by the way, let the Nets players adapt to the environment.

A few seconds later, Deron Williams suddenly started and singled out Hinrich without calling cover, and after the trademark change of pace, Deron Williams shook off Hinrich, broke through to mid-range and made a jumper to help the Nets stabilize the situation.

The Wizards attacked, and Li Kaiming passed the ball to Leonard in the face of the bag, who missed the layup, and the Nets defended the rebound and went down.

Humphreys's mind moved again, and the team boss stepped up, so as the second leader of the team in terms of data, he also had to stand up and perform, and it was best to press the surname Li like in the first quarter!

After arriving in the frontcourt, Humphreys chose to go over to cover Deron Williams, the Wizards chose to decisively wrap Delon and release Humphreys, Delon distributed the ball to the latter, Li Kaiming quickly arrived to help defend, but Humphreys chose to prove himself in the mcI center, and directly took out his worst dribble and began to kill inside!

Seeing this pair of guys kicking their noses in the face, Li Kaiming was also a little crying and laughing!

Lao Tzu doesn't want to pay attention to you when he plays the cultivation game here, you think it's fun to touch the tiger's butt, right?

As far as Humphreys's three-legged cat dribble level, even if Li Kaiming's outside defense is average, the former has no way to get rid of him, and in the end he can only barely go to the basket, but he didn't even touch the basket.

Humphreys's face was red and white when he saw the result, just as Li Kaiming grabbed the rebound, Humphreys decided to use a steal to save face, but Li Kaiming turned around and lived cleanly!

After passing Humphreys, Li Kaiming, who released his speed with full force, rushed to the front court with unstoppable momentum like a wild horse, and the Nets players were shocked and ready to deliberately foul to defend themselves, but before they reached the frontcourt, Li Kaiming suddenly passed the ball to Hinrich.

The players of the Nets just breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect the situation to suddenly change again, and Li Kaiming did not stop after the pass, but broke through the outside defense of the Nets and went directly to the restricted area.

Outside the three-point line, Hinrich hesitated after seeing this scene, and then passed the most daring pass of the season!

At such a distance, separated by several defenders, Hinrich actually threw the ball directly to the basket, and Li Kaiming, who arrived under the basket, also jumped at the same time, received Hinrich's pass with both hands in the air, and then dunked it!

51 to 36!

The Nets trailed by 15 points before halftime, and Avery Johnson called a timeout in a panic.

It turns out that the purpose of saving the pause is to keep it for the critical moment, but looking at the current situation, if it is not called a timeout, there is a high probability that there will be no critical moment.

On the bench, Avery Johnson shouted at the Nets players, "Defend the opposite side, don't rush, don't follow the rhythm of the opposite side!" We're going to have our own pace, Delong, it's your job! ”

Deron Williams nodded firmly, and when the team is in trouble, as the team's old nature has to step up.

The two sides returned to the court again, the Nets attacked, and Deron Williams broke through to stabilize the difference.

The Wizards served to the frontcourt, Li Kaiming suddenly ran to the outside to catch the ball, Nets center Petro was afraid of being taken by one step and followed the ground a step slower, Li Kaiming hit a three-point shot directly, and Delong's efforts in the last round came to naught.

The Nets attacked, but the current Wizards team is no longer the leaky Wizards of last season, Evanturner singled out Thompson after receiving the ball, Leonard grabbed the rebound and handed it to Hinrich, Li Kaiming took the initiative to ask for the ball and quickly dribbled to the front court to prepare to play one himself.

The Nets sandwiched two inside bags, ready to foul Li Kaiming to stop, but Li Kaiming's speed was too fast, and these two people didn't have time to make a move before Li Kaiming pushed the ball to change direction, and the Nets' restricted area without the inside line was an unobstructed view for Li Kaiming, Li Kaiming split Huashan with one arm, so that Humphreys, who was following behind, swallowed his spit after seeing the shaking basket.

The Nets attacked, Deron Williams chose to come by himself again, but after the layup went to the inside, he was interfered with by Li Kaiming, and Leonard next to him once again protected the rebound, this scene made Sanders' eyes light up on the sidelines!

I didn't expect Leonard's rebounding awareness to be so good!

Avery Johnson on the sidelines let the center and the big forward switch defenses, Humphreys will not be one step away from defending Li Kaiming, but at this moment Li Kaiming has gone crazy, Humphreys to defend not only can not limit him, but will make Li Kaiming play with stronger aggression.

After arriving at the front court, Li Kaiming faced Humphreys's full defense, a large pull ball changed direction and then stabbed out of the breakthrough, Humphreys felt after that, predicted the position to follow the inside, Li Kaiming suddenly kicked the ground and retreated, a big stride out of the three-point line, almost empty dry pull!

Bang! Basketball hollow into the net!

59 to 38!

Li Kaiming's sudden outburst directly stretched the difference to 20 points, and Avery Johnson, who was standing on the sidelines, looked sluggish!

What's the situation? What happened?

At this moment, Johnson looked up again, like a student who was looking down to pick something up in math class, and he no longer knew what was on the blackboard......

And Li Kaiming's explosive score also made Thompson's eyes light up.

Wow, it's the boss of the team, it's amazing, I want to learn too!

Even Leonard, who was paralyzed, showed a surprised expression on his face, and it seemed that he had never seen anyone who could score as much as Li Kaiming.

Unconsciously, Li Kaiming established a glorious image in front of the team's two rookies......

After the end of the game, the Wizards defeated the Nets with a handle and achieved the first victory of the new season, Li Kaiming shot 12 of 18 from the field, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws, and got 30 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks.

Thompson played 25 minutes, shooting 4-of-10 from the field, including 3-of-7 from three-point range, with 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 turnovers, and 1-of-5 shooting from the field and 0-of-2 from the free throw line in his debut with 2 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals.
